Beef heart mitochondrial ATPase (F1) exhibited a single binding site for Pi. The interaction with Pi was reversible, partially dependent on the presence of divalent metal ions, and characterized by a dissociation constant at pH 7.5 of 80 micronM. A variety of substances known to influence oxidative phosphorylation or the activity of the soluble ATPase (F1) also influenced Pi binding by the enzyme. Thus aurovertin, an inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation, which was bound tightly by F1 and inhibited ATPase activity, enhanced Pi binding via a 4-fold increase in the affinity of the enzyme for Pi (KD = 20 micronM) but did not alter binding stoichiometry. Anions such as SO4(2-), SO3(2-), chromate, and 2,4-dinitrophenolate, which stimulated ATPase activity of F1, also enhanced Pi binding. Inhibitors of ATPase activity such as nickel/bathophenanthroline and the protein ATPase inhibitor of Pullman and Monroy (Pullman, M. E., and Monroy, G. C. (1963) J. Biol. Chem. 238, 3762-3769) inhibited Pi binding. The adenine nucleotides ADP, ATP, and the ATP analog adenylyl imidodiphosphate as well as the Pi analog arsenate, also inhibited Pi binding. The observations suggest that the Pi binding site was located in or near an adenine nucleotide binding site on the molecule.

The presence of ATP at non-catalytic sites of the chloroplast F1-ATPase (CF1) eliminates a considerable lag in onset of enzyme activity that otherwise occurs in the presence of bicarbonate [Milgrom, Y. M., Ehler, L. & Boyer, P. D. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 11551-11558]. Sulfite is known to be much more effective than bicarbonate in stimulating ATPase activity CF1. Results reported here show that when assayed in the presence of sulfite, CF1, with some non-catalytic sites empty or filled with GT(D)P, is able to hydrolyze both ATP and GTP. Thus, the presence of adenine nucleotides at non-catalytic sites is not necessary for catalytic turnover of CF1. However, even though CF1 with empty non-catalytic sites shows a significant initial activity, the prior binding of adenine nucleotides at non-catalytic site(s) results in further activation of MgATPase and MgGTPase activities, even at relatively high sulfite and substrate concentrations. Although extensive activation of CF1 results from the presence of sulfite, with or without nucleotide binding at non-catalytic sites, the Km remains constant, at about 50 microM for MgATP and 400 microM for MgGTP. The results obtained show that the ATPase activity of CF1 is determined by the fraction of the active enzyme. The inactive CF1.ADP.Mg2+ formed during MgATP hydrolysis can be rapidly trapped by azide to provide a measure of the fraction of inactive enzyme. Increasing the concentration of sulfite increases the fraction of active CF1 in the assay medium. Measurements with radioactively labeled nucleotides show that the presence of ATP at non-catalytic sites promotes the ATP-dependent release of inhibitory ADP from a catalytic site. The activating effect of ATP binding at non-catalytic sites results from increasing the portion of CF1 in an active state during steady-state ATP hydrolysis.

Washed chloroplast thylakoid membranes upon exposure to [3H]ADP retain a tightly bound [3H]ADP on a catalytic site of the ATP synthase. The presence of sufficient endogenous or added Mg2+ results in an enzyme with essentially no ATPase activity. Sulfite activates the ATPase, and many molecules of ATP per synthase can be hydrolyzed before most of the bound [3H]ADP is released, a result interpreted as indicating that the ADP is not bound at a site participating in catalysis by the sulfite-activated enzyme [Larson, E. M., Umbach, A., & Jagendorf, A. T. (1989) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 973, 75-85]. We present evidence that this is not the case. The Mg2(+)- and ADP-inhibited enzyme when exposed to MgATP and 20-100 mM sulfite shows a lag of about 1 min at 22 degrees C and of about 15 s at 37 degrees C before reaching the same steady-state rate as attained with light-activated ATPase that has not been inhibited by Mg2+ and ADP. The lag is not eliminated if the enzyme is exposed to sulfite prior to MgATP addition, indicating that ATPase turnover is necessary for the activation. The release of most of the bound [3H]ADP parallels the onset of ATPase activity, although some [3H]ADP is not released even with prolonged catalytic turnover and may be on poorly active or inactive enzyme or at noncatalytic sites. The results are consistent with most of the tightly bound [3H]ADP being at a catalytic site and being replaced as this Mg2(+)- and ADP-inhibited site regains equivalent participation with other catalytic sites on the activated enzyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The F1 portion of H(+)-translocating ATPase as purified from membrane vesicles of Vibrio parahaemolyticus by a rapid procedure. The whole purification process (from culture of cells to purification of the enzyme) could be completed in 1 day. The F1-ATPase consists of five subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon) like F1 of Escherichia coli and other microorganisms. The F1-ATPase of V. parahaemolyticus showed some interesting properties. Its activity was greatly stimulated by high concentrations (about 0.5 M) of SO4(2-), SO3(2-) and CH3COO-, their effects decreasing in this order. Among the anions tested, Cl- and NO3- were ineffective, or rather inhibitory, and cations had no significant effects. Ethanol (or methanol) stimulated the activity 2- to 3-fold. The activity was inhibited by 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene 2,2'-disulfonate (SITS) (an anion exchanger inhibitor), tetrachlorosalicylanilide (TCS) (an H+ conductor), azide and N-ethylmaleimide. Zinc inhibited the activity only slightly, although it strongly inhibited the ATPase activity in membrane vesicles.

4-Azido-2-nitrophenyl pyrophosphate (azido-PPi) labeled with 32P in the alpha position was prepared and used to photolabel beef heart mitochondrial F1. Azido-PPi was hydrolyzed by yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase, but not by mitochondrial F1-ATPase. Incubation of F1 with [alpha-32P]azido-PPi in the dark under conditions of saturation resulted in the binding of the photoprobe to three sites, two of which exhibited a high affinity (Kd = 2 microM), the third one having a lower affinity (Kd = 300 microM). Mg2+ was required for binding. As with PPi [Issartel et al. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 13538-13544], the binding of 3 mol of azido-PPi/mol of F1 resulted in the release of one tightly bound nucleotide. ADP, AMP-PNP, and PPi competed with azido-PPi for binding to F1, but Pi and the phosphate analogue azidonitrophenyl phosphate did not. The binding of [32P]Pi to F1 was enhanced at low concentrations of azido-PPi, as it was in the presence of low concentrations of PPi. Sulfite, which is thought to bind to an anion-binding site on F1, inhibited competitively the binding of both ADP and azido-PPi, suggesting that the postulated anion-binding site of F1 is related to the exchangeable nucleotide-binding sites. Upon photoirradiation of F1 in the presence of [alpha-32P]azido-PPi, the photoprobe became covalently bound with concomitant inactivation of F1. The plots relating the inactivation of F1 to the covalent binding of the probe were rectilinear up to 50% inactivation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

1. The initial rapid phase of ATP hydrolysis by bovine heart submitochondrial particles or by soluble F1-ATPase is insensitive to anion activation (sulphite) or inhibition (azide). 2. The second slow phase of ATP hydrolysis is hyperbolically inhibited by azide (Ki approximately 10(-5) M); the inosine triphosphatase activity of submitochondrial particles or F1-ATPase is insensitive to azide or sulphite. 3. The rate of interconversion between rapid azide-insensitive and slow azide-sensitive phases of ATP hydrolysis does not depend on azide concentration, but strongly depends on ATP concentration. 4. Sulphite prevents the interconversion of the rapid initial phase of the reaction into the slower second phase, and also prevents and slowly reverses the inhibition by azide. 5. The presence of sulphite in the mixture when ADP reacts with ATPase of submitochondrial particles changes the pattern of the following activation process. 6. Azide blocks the activation of ATP-inhibited ATPase of submitochondrial particles by phosphoenolpyruvate and pyruvate kinase. 7. The results obtained suggest that the inhibiting effect of azide on mitochondrial ATPase is due to stabilization of inactive E*.ADP complex formed during ATP hydrolysis; the activation of ATPase by sulphite is also realized through the equilibrium between intermediate active E.ADP complex and inactive E*.ADP complex.

Using vacuolar membranes from Neurospora crassa, we observed that sulfite prevented the loss of vacuolar ATPase activity that otherwise occurred during 36 h at room temperature. Sulfite neither activated nor changed the kinetic behavior of the enzyme. Further, in the presence of sulfite, the vacuolar ATPase was not inhibited by nitrate. We tested the hypothesis that sulfite acts as a reducing agent to stabilize the enzyme, while nitrate acts as an oxidizing agent, inhibiting the enzyme by promoting the formation of disulfide bonds. All reducing agents tested, dithionite, selenite, thiophosphate, dithiothreitol and glutathione, prevented the loss of ATPase activity. On the other hand, all oxidizing agents tested, bromate, iodate, arsenite, perchlorate, and hydrogen peroxide, were potent inhibitors of ATPase activity. The inhibitory effect of the oxidizing agents was specific for the vacuolar ATPase. The mitochondrial ATPase, assayed under identical conditions, was not inhibited by any of the oxidizing agents. Analysis of proteins with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis indicated that nitrate can promote the formation of disufide bonds between proteins in the vacuolar membrane. These data suggest a mechanism to explain why nitrate specifically inhibits vacuolar ATPases, and they support the proposal by Feng and Forgac (Feng, Y., and Forgac, M. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 13244-13230) that oxidation and reduction of critical cysteine residues may regulate the activity of vacuolar ATPases in vivo.

Previous attempts to isolate a stable F0F1-ATPase complex (H(+)-translocating ATPase) from Vibrio parahaemolyticus have been unsuccessful. Using new non-ionic detergents (alkyl thiomaltosides), a stable F0F1 complex with a high specific activity (15-25 units/mg protein) was purified and characterized. The purified F0F1-ATPase consists of eight subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, a, b and c). The new detergents, in combination with sucrose (or glycerol), lipid, dithiothreitol and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, effectively stabilized the F0F1 complex. The ATPase activity of the F0F1 complex was greatly increased by anions, such as SO4(2-) and SO3(2-). Sodium ion increased the activity by about 2-fold. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, Zn2+, 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilben-2,2'disulfonate and tetrachlorosalicylanilide inhibited F0F1-ATPase activity. Ethanol, which stimulated F1-ATPase activity, inhibited F0F1-ATPase activity. Methanol, Na3VO4 and bafilomycin A1 did not have any significant effect on F0F1-ATPase activity, although methanol, like ethanol, stimulated F1-ATPase activity.

Unisite ATPase kinetic constants were measured for wild-type yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae F1-ATPase and F1-ATPase with the Thr197-->Ser mutation in the beta subunit. Under unisite conditions, the concentration of ATP is greater than that of the enzyme, ATP hydrolysis is slow and the affinity of the enzyme for ATP and ADP is high. The Thr197-->Ser mutation in the yeast F1-ATPase increases the specific activity of ATP hydrolysis threefold and makes the enzyme much less sensitive to azide and oxyanions [Mueller, D. M. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 16552-16556]. A unifying hypothesis is that the affinity of F1-ATPase for ADP is altered by azide, oxyanions and the Thr197-->Ser mutation. To address this hypothesis, kinetic and thermodynamic constants were measured for the wild-type and mutant enzymes in the absence and presence of azide and oxyanions. The results indicate that sulfite and azide do not significantly alter unisite thermodynamic binding constants of either enzyme for ADP at the catalytic site. The mutation Thr197-->Ser has little effect on the binding constant for ADP, or on other unisite kinetic constants of the enzyme, in the presence or absence of azide or oxyanions. However, the binding of ADP to the enzyme was affected by oxyanions and the Thr197-->Ser mutation as measured by determining the KiADP values for multisite ATPase activity (saturating ATP). The Ki for ADP on ATPase activity was measured for the wild-type and mutant enzymes in the presence and absence of sulfite under multisite conditions. Sulfite increases the KiADP values for ATP hydrolysis under multisite conditions approximately threefold for the wild-type and mutant enzymes and the Thr197-->Ser mutation increases KiADP ninefold. The effect of sulfite on KiADP is additive to the effect of the Thr197-->Ser mutation, suggesting that these are distinct effects. These results indicate that the effects of azide, oxyanions, and the Thr197-->Ser mutation on the biochemistry of F1-ATPase are limited primarily to multisite conditions. Both sulfite and the Thr197-->Ser mutation decrease the affinity of the enzyme for ADP, as measured by the increase in the Ki values. Furthermore, the mechanisms of activation by sulfite and the Thr197-->Ser mutations are different. This difference occurs despite their common biochemical consequences on the apparent affinity for ADP.

Mitochondrial ATPase of Leishmania donovani was characterized using digitonin-permeabilized promastigotes and the results were compared with those from isolated mitochondria. Maximum mitochondrial ATPase activity was obtained in promastigotes permeabilized with digitonin at a final concentration of 20 microM and the specific activity of the enzyme was 46% and 57% higher than that of homogenized and sonicated promastigotes, respectively. At concentrations above 20 microM digitonin inhibited ATPase activity and the degree of inhibition increased with increasing concentrations of the detergent. The ATPase activity of promastigotes remained DCCD-sensitive when permeabilized with digitonin at concentrations up to 120 microM but the enzyme became increasingly resistant to this inhibitor as digitonin concentrations were increased to 140 microM and more, indicating the loss of functional activity of the enzyme. The pH and temperature optima for mitochondrial ATPase were determined to be 7.5 and 30 degrees C, respectively. Mg2+ ions were essential for ATPase activity but free Mg2+ ions were found to be inhibitory. A Mg2+/ATP ratio of 1:3 supported the optimum ATPase activity. Sulfite and hexanol activated the enzyme but failed to prevent the inhibition by free Mg2+ ions. The results indicate that digitonin-permeabilized promastigotes provide an ideal system for studying the mitochondrial ATPase of L. donovani.
